About Brookdale Nursing Home
Brookdale Nursing Home is in Kidderminster in Worcestershire. We care for older people and younger adults who need nursing support, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we take respite bookings. With qualified nurses here at all hours, we can care for people whose needs are clinically real and go on caring for them as those needs change. Wounds, pain, continence, nutrition, medication and safe movement are all managed here, and much that would otherwise mean hospital can be handled at home instead. Families frequently tell us that not having to move again was the thing that mattered most. What we watch for is the way clinical care can quietly reduce somebody to a list of tasks, so ordinary courtesies get as much attention as medical ones. People decide when they get up, what they wear, what they eat and how the afternoon goes. We knock, we explain, and we wait for an answer rather than announcing what is about to happen. Dementia asks for a familiar day more than anything we could add. We keep things recognisable, we avoid surprises, and when somebody is unsettled we go looking for the reason instead of simply trying to calm them. Relatives usually hold the useful detail and we want to hear it. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall, and we keep asking residents and families where we fall short.
